Special Selection June 2009 This spherical moon size battle station produces the mother of all laser beams. The Death Star is capable of moving throughout the galaxy, destroying entire planets and spreading fear like a shadow of impending doom. 75 miles in diameter it has a surface like a metropolis full of detention blocks and interrogation cells. The death star is capable of housing a billion people and requires a million personnel to operate.

These fans are tough! They have to withstand verbal abuse, man to man combat and all out riots. Weapons usually include beer bottles, rocks and cricket bats. The lush green grass on the field means nothing to soccer* diehards who crowd in the stands....where panic can break out at any moment testing facility railings, exists and basic fire resistance. If these fans make it from the stadium, riot police are waiting in the streets with tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons. Soccer* may be for pansy asses but being a fan takes some grit. (* Football for the majority of the world.)

Regarding the parenthetical statement that Soccer is, "Football for the majority of the world", I don't believe this is case.
I. The majority of world don't speak English; I. A significant proportion of the English speaking world, possibly the majority, use football to describe American Football, Canadian Football, Australian Rules Football, Rugby League, or Gaelic Football. reply
I. The majority of the world DOESN'T speak english; apparantly that includes you.
II. Most of the rest of the English speaking world regards Soccer as Football, and Football as American Football. reply
Afterthought: I left rugby union off the list because I didn't think anyone called it football. In school, however, we called rugby football and association football "rugger" and "soccer" respectively: therefore that's another demographic that call association football soccer.
I do speak English, the majority of the world do not: what's the problem with using the contraction "don't" (which is also a non-standard contraction of does not, by the way). Once we've taken the United States, Canada, Australia, and Ireland out of the equation: do you really think you're still left with a majority of the Anglosphere? reply
It is a contraction of Do not, not Does not. /me looks for ignore button.
reply
Personally I don't rate IQ tests, but that don't mean to say I can't score quite highly on them.
http://www.answers.com/don't reply
Don't is the contraction of Do Not. Doesn't is the contraction of Does Not. Doesn't would have been grammatically correct for English. Don't is grammatically correct for Ebonics. it depends on what dialect you're speaking.
I didn't know there were trolls under this bridge.
reply
Sure there are, it's the bridge to Douchebagistan.
reply
Alright, guess I'll have to use the manual ignore button by reading stupid crap, shaking my head and moving on whilst holding my tongue. Cheers.

Oh, shut yer mock-apple-piehole.

The Death Star could have destroyed the planet of the Jar Jar Binkses, but didn't.
reply
It should have...
reply
I know! That's an epic fail!
reply
Totally, epic epic fail

I think the fact that a bunch of personafied catfish were able to take down that many droids and not get blown up only increases a giant laser's awesomeness.
reply
If it did, it would have been even more awesome.
reply
yea lets all vote for queen of the mist now
reply
I can hardly think of anything less awesome than Soccer Hooligans. Maybe people who talk at movie theaters would give them a run for their money.
reply
I'm less awesome than Soccer Hooligans.
reply
I was going to say Anthrax (the virus, not the band), but the fact is that Anthrax has been responsible for fewer deaths in the last fifty years than Football Hooligans.
reply
THANK YOU! While Soccer Hooligans haven't exactly been burning up the leaderboard, I was afraid I was the only one who thought they were decidedly UN-awesome. Not to dis on someone else's nominee, but seriously - indiscriminately violent thugs are not awesome
reply
I have to disagree with you!
They aren't indiscriminately violent thugs; they are extremely discriminatory and violent thugs.
Seriously, they discriminate against fans of the opposing team, they discriminate against all kinds of ethnicities and nationalities. If there's one thing they're good at, it's discrimination.
But I'll concur; soccer fans are awesome, while soccer hooligans are not.
reply
Not to pick nits, but when they light cars on fire, throw batteries into crowds, and trample people to death, I'm not sure they're always checking to make sure their victims support the other side.
But, you're right soccer/futbol/football is awesome. It's fans are awesome. Hooligans are NOT awesome
reply
I have the feeling that my summer in Italy in 2006 would have been far less interesting without the Hooligans. I'm going to have to go with awesome on this one, whats life without a little risk?

You people are voting for something that is used to efficiently kill billions of innocent people at a time. Sure, it is fictional, but you are still voting for a fictional floating planetwide holocaust device. Think about it.
reply
Sorry, much like Yorky, I have to vote against religious fanatic terrorists like Luke Skywalker, so the Death Star has my vote.
reply
Your logic has won me over. A vote for the Death Star is a vote for peace, justice, law, order, and the American way. A vote for Che Guevara is a vote for Luke Skywalker, Osama bin Laden, and the families of the victims of 9/11 who don't support the Iraq War.

This is suddenly the best political debate I have heard in 10 years

I actually noticed that there are no legit Death Star pictures in this slideshow. It must be so awesome, everyone just know what that is.

Just to be clear, but Toronto FC fans are probably the big @$$holes in the MLS. Feel the shame.

the_mad_nader commented ( about Soccer* Hooligans ) on 6/5/2009
Hmmm, I could see the argument that this is the anti-thesis of awesome. Who likes drunk thugs that indiscriminately assault people and property? Tossing full baggies of urine at people? Not awesome
